Time to get shirty, stitchy pals! Say bonjour to our latest pattern, the beautiful Peppermint Belle Shirt. Made in collaboration with Modern Sewing Co’s marvellous Hetty Adams, this beauty offers a twist on traditional shirting tropes with striking details such as a wide placket, straight point collar and bell sleeves. With clean, clever construction, she’s a dream to sew and a joy to wear whether you whip one up in monochromatic linen, or rock a bold print and make a statement shirt – or dress! The opportunities are endless. Receive the Belle Shirt pattern for FREE – with Issue 59!
